I have an install/uninstall batch file for this:
Install:
@ECHO OFF
set DOTNETFX2=%SystemRoot%\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.30319
set PATH=%PATH%;%DOTNETFX2%
echo Installing WindowsService…
echo —————————————————
InstallUtil /i MyWindowsService.exe
echo —————————————————
echo Done.
Uninstall:
@ECHO OFF
set DOTNETFX2=%SystemRoot%\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.30319
set PATH=%PATH%;%DOTNETFX2%
echo uninstalling WindowsService…
echo —————————————————
InstallUtil /u MyWindowsService.exe
echo —————————————————
echo Done.
That’s a very handy batch file. Thanks for sharing it!
